You're in a shoe shop, second in the queue for the till. Behind the shop assistant on the till is a pair of shoes which you have seen and which you must have.

The 'opposing' female shopper in front of you has seen them also and is eyeing them with desire.

Both of you have forgotten your purses.

It would be totally rude to push in front of the first woman if you had no money to pay for the shoes.

The shop assistant remains at the till waiting.

Your friend is trying on another pair of shoes at the back of the shop and sees your dilemma.

She prepares to throw her purse to you.

If she does so, you can catch the purse, then walk round the other shopper and buy the shoes.

At a pinch she could throw the purse ahead of the other shopper and, *whilst it is in flight* you could nip around the other shopper,
catch the purse and buy the shoes.

Always remembering that until the purse had *actually been thrown* it would be plain wrong to be forward of the other shopper.

Thank me later girls....

Awesome, Rodders!

Now Basil, karel and the other ladies have no excuse for asking a man to explain why the silly flag went up again!

You just keep on digging there, BG!! It's like watching a car crash in super HD slow motion!!

I don't know what the problem is mate..i've got no problems with women taking the veil off in the house or sitting in the front seat of the car..i'm even coming round to the idea of them speaking before spoken to...i'm a modern man like yoursel..

And you "been to the ballet"???!!!
Err..Err...It was a misprint mate..it was supposed to be ''been to The Mallet''..you know... Timmy Mallet... Wackaday...i know what your thinking... BG's cool as f*ck ...your right, i suppose i am..

Fairly brave of you mate... coming out in public like that, ya big poof!
Well i didn't want you to feel like you were the only one mate...

Is he a handsome bastard? Might know him...

I'm surprised your into the handsome bastards.. thought you'd prefer a bit of rough...

Can someone tell me why some men feel the need to question a bird on the offside rule once she says she likes football? Would you feel the need to question every bloke the same? FFS!! Men don't have sole exclusive rights to knowledge about football.
Oh ive been asked that a million times, no guy has ever believed me when i say i enjoy watching football! Ive been told to name the whole of the arsenal squad, all teams/managers/refs and all sorts just to prove that i do! its highly annoying

Okay then. You may well know what the offside rule is but can any of you girls explain the following: 'The big man arrives at the back door hoping to slam one in, but the defence was resolute!!?

If you really want to impress us, try explaining that to the majority of men!!

Is it any wonder some women feel intimidated at football/talking about football with that kind of archaic attitude by some men?

I did say some men, I am obviously extremly lucky in my choice of mates who never question my knowledge of football purely cos I am a woman. Likewise I find it embarassing if guys extol my knowledge or passion because that is imo another way of saying what the dinosaur bg has been posting.

Please can we stop with the man/woman football knowledge stuff, we are all Arsenal and thats enough for me. No one has ever drawn a line between us before. Would it not have been sufficient to say bt is very clever and has inspired posts about football and not point out the difference in gender? I have seriously never felt offended until now on this forum. On here, and strangely enough on .com, it has never been mooted before that women/men have different levels of interest/knowledge, surely its enough that we all post on here and all have Arsenal in our veins. This is a sad day for me on here.

You got that right!

Dont get upset young lady, fuck em!

Can I ask how old you are, Bergkamp-Genius? I don't mean to sound rude, but I'm assuming with that sort of attitude you must be more mature than some of us on the forum.

You might have had a point if you were only talking about my mum's generation in the days when there was no sky tv and stadiums were very intimidating places for everyone, but today things are totally different. Football has a universal appeal, to all cultures, races and both genders.

The irony is that now that football has, through the mass media, broadened its appeal to women as much as men, it's become increasingly difficult for anyone of my age, of either gender, to get to see live premiership football because of cost. I've been very lucky to have inherited my grandad's season ticket when I was much younger, so I've seen with my own eyes how the vast majority of the fans remain the same ageing, predmoninantly male generation it's always been.

I post a lot on the Arsenal Facebook group and I get the whole "I thought you were a guy" thing there too. It gets very irritating when guys who couldnt recognise a 4231 from a 433 and have never been to the Emirates, far less grown up with the game from a very early age, think they need to explain the offside rule to me.
